(Jeju=Yonhap News) Reporter Jeon Ji-hye = The distribution of six new varieties of garlic cultivated in Jeju is expanding.
Jeju Agricultural Technology Institute announced on the 28th that the area for the distribution of six newly bred garlic varieties in the province is expected to expand from 40.3ha this year to 79.1ha next year.
The Agricultural Technology Institute has been cultivating six new varieties including Woohyang, Dalkomee, Ga-eulhyang, Sulhyang, Matnabong, and Red Star from 2018 to 2023 to increase consumer preference and expand farmers' income.
These varieties are evaluated as higher quality than existing varieties and are suitable for Jeju's climate, with a heat rate of 5% or less, which is increasing the preference of farmers according to the Agricultural Technology Institute.
The actual cultivation area has been rapidly expanding every year, from 2.6ha in 2022, 8.2ha in 2023, 20.1ha in 2024, and 40.3ha in 2025.
The Agricultural Technology Institute has signed seedling right transfer agreements with 28 seedling companies in the province to strengthen the foundation for the distribution of new varieties, and plans to increase the cultivation area to 189ha by 2030.
The contracted area per variety is 11.9ha for Ga-eulhyang, 39.6ha for Dalkomee, 46.5ha for Woohyang, 23.4ha for Sulhyang, 33.6ha for Matnabong, and 32.4ha for Red Star.
The seedling production volume next year is a total of 65,000 stems (38.8ha worth), an increase of 15,000 stems compared to this year, with 'Woohyang' accounting for 56% of the total, receiving the most attention according to the Agricultural Technology Institute.
